| Abstract |
"In Waiting for the Cool Moon, Wendy Matsumura employs works of critical Black theory, including theories of anti-Blackness, to understand the way that the Japanese empire similarly divided people into Human and less-than-human categories. The book brings into relief the forms of struggle and worlds of freedom endured by those excluded from the category of the Japanese-Human-as-Man following World War I. Even as Matsumura works to make the invisible visible, she works against reparative or redemptive desires that depend on colonial logics of recovery. Divided into four parts, the book charts the experiences and archival traces of buraku (a type of untouchable category in Japan), women, Korean workers, and imperial subjects in Okinawa and elsewhere, thinking through their lives amidst colonial violence"-- Provided by publisher. |
